SCREEN HANGER.

Application filed November 7, 1921. Serial No. 513,519.

To all whom it may concern:

v Be-it known that I JAMnsA. BAILEY, a citizen of the United states of America, residing at Toledo, LucasCounty, Ohio, have invented new and useful Screen Hangers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to fasteners or hangers.

This inventionihas utility when incorporated in closure mountings for openings, as, in top mountings tor screens.

Referring to the drawings:

Fig. 1 is a. side elevation showing the holding of the screen in open position by an embodiment of the invention in a mounting as herein disclosed;

Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail showing the position, of the mounting or hanger as in Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 is a fragmentary front elevation showing the position of the mounting and the screen when the screen is in closed position at the top;

Fig. i is a detail View, in section, showing the position of the base of the screen as to the frame with the screen in closed position as shown in Fig. 3;

Fig. 5 is a detail View, in perspective, of the strap member or carrier of the mounting device oi this invention; and

Fig. 6 is a view of the pin or support ele ment of the mounting device of this disclosure.

A window or opening is shown as provided with a frame 1 having a straight ledge or base 2 at the bottom, side flanges 3 and an inwardly projecting top flange 4. under the top 5. A supporting pin or screw 6 is provided shown as having outwardly tapered guide portion 7 and inwardly therefrom reverse taper head portion 8.

A. screen is shown as embodying a screen frame 9 to be engaged by mounting portion 10 of a strap having an offset intermediate portion 11 to a curvedstrap portion 12. This ofiset portion 11 is to accommodate the screen by the strap to the frame at flanges 3, 1, in lieu of building out the screen. Holes 13 permit the mounting of the strap member 10, 11, 12, by screws 1 1 to the screen 9. The curved strap portion 12 of this screen hanger strap has a large intermediate opening 15' as a central portion of the slot, the termini, 16, 17, of which are smaller,

This strap 10, 11, 12, is suftiiciently rigid that when the screen '9 is thrust outwardly inserted at the marks.

the tapered head 8 directs this strapcloseto the top 5, thereby tilts the screen frame 9 away from the frame, andholds the screen a sufficient distance outward that one may wash the window, handle awning'or use the screen as may be found convenient.

There is accordingly provided a screen hanger of a minimum number of parts. A device proper as disclosed involves but the single screw 6, as the support or anchor of the single strap member 10, 11, 12,'as the carrier, with anchoring means therefor, herein shown as two screws 14. In assembly the straps may be mounted on the screen, the frame marked, then the screws 6 To bring the screen with this strap carrier into position it is only necessary to work the slots 15, 16, 17, along the screw 6 when they will readily work into register by the taper heads 7 being guided throughthe enlargements 15. At once the heads are in these elongated slots, the screen may settle down into the position shown in Fig. 2-, as open, or the screen may be drawn into closed position, thereby mov ing the screen so that instead or" the narrow seat portion 16 coacting with the reverse taper 8 there is the other terminus seat portion. 17 urged by this reverse taper S into such position that the top of the screen 9 is against the flanges 3, 4. However, this mounting is such that the screen 9 maysettle down at the base to make a mosquito or fly tight joint with the ledge 2, the joints between the flanges 3, 4, and the screen still being over-lapping.

The screen may be as readily detached as attached by lifting the screen but partially in its thrust outward position, so that the taper 8 may guide the strap outward through opening 15. The position of the screws 6 with the screen closed, aresuch that these screws are below the opening enlargements 15. This means that the screen may not be thrust outward at the top, except in a special opening position for detaching.

iVhat is claimed audit is desired to secureby Letters Patent is:

1. A pin and eye connecting device including a fixed pin. a relatively shittable eye having narrow termini to be engaged by the pin at different positions of the eye in its connecting device operation.

2. A pin and eye connecting device ineluding an eye having an enlarged intermediate portion, and a fixed pin having a head for assembly with the eye through said enlarged intermediate portion and coacting in different positions of the device operation with the eye away from the enlarged portion.

3. A pin and eye connecting device embodying a tapered head pin, and a relatively shiftable member provided with a closed slot having an enlargement through which the tapered head of the pin may pass in device assembly, said slot carrying portion of the member being bent for holding the member difierently as to the pin in different positions of the slot as to the pin.

4. A pin and eye connecting device embodying a reverse taper head pin, and an eye (reacting with the pin taper to be directed away from the head of the pin in mounting the eye assembled with the pin, said eye being intermediately enlarged for receiving the pin and being bent to engage the reverse taper of said pin head at extreme positions of the eye as to the pin.

5. A pin and eye connecting device embodying a double tapered headed pin, and

an eye to be guided upon the pin by one taper and to be urged back away from the head by the other taper.

6 A screen hanger embodying a strap provided with an eye portion, and screen engaging mounting portion, the eye portion being inclined away from the plane of the screen and mounting portion and a pin to engage the eye portion.

7. A frame, a screen, a hanger member embodying a carrier engaging the screen a support member anchored with the frame to be detachably engaged by the carrier, one of said members beingbent and provided with a slot in the bend thereof and the other member being provided with a head for entering the slot whereby in closed position of the screen as to the frame the screen may settle down'in the frame and at open position of the screen the bend and slot automatically coact with said head to hold the screen away from the frame.

In witness thereof I affix my signature.
